This error is usually file system corruption or memory corruption. Could you please run a filesystem and memory test? The files are checked for their sha256 sum when they are downloaded (and discarded if the hashsum does not match), it would be interessting to get the sha256sum of the file you have in /var/cache/apt/archives
